Chapter 124: Digging Out the Old Courtyard (Please Subscribe)
It didn't take long for Yi Yang and Lin Shiyin to return to the place where the stall was set up, at this moment, Lin Shiyin was as happy as a little girl, a little at a loss in front of Yi Yang, Yi Yang really did her a big favor this time, so that she got a huge treasure worth more than 500,000 overnight, 500,000 things may be nothing for big collectors, but in the eyes of small antique dealers like them who make a living from stalls, it is a lot of money.
Yi Yang has undoubtedly become her great benefactor, and she doesn't know how to thank the other party.
"Mr. Yi, I'll invite you to dinner later, I must invite you this time!" Lin Shiyin still couldn't control the excitement and said firmly.
She originally planned to give 50% of the proceeds of that piece of porcelain to Yi Yang, but Yi Yang decisively refused, and she couldn't force it, so she had to find another way to thank her.
Yi Yang smiled and said, "You are too polite." ”
He turned his head to look at Bai Wenchao, and said: "It depends on the situation, if you have time to have a meal together at noon, if it's inconvenient, then we'll talk about it later, anyway, we still have to stay here, and we won't leave Beijing for a while and a half." ”
Lin Shiyin nodded again and again in agreement, and said, "Okay, you must remember, don't forget that I still owe you a meal." ”
She had a serious expression on her face, in her opinion, inviting Yi Yang to dinner was a very important thing, after all, apart from this, she couldn't think of any other way to thank this great benefactor for a while.
After chatting with Lin Shiyin for a while, Bai Wenchao suddenly received a phone call.
"Brother Yi Yang, Brother Meng is here, call us over." After hanging up the phone, Bai Wenchao whispered in Yi Yang's ear.
"Well, let's go find him, then." Yi Yang nodded, and then he said goodbye to Lin Shiyin: "Miss Lin, a friend has come, and we are going to look for him, so I said goodbye and will talk again when I have time." ”
"Okay, then you guys go get busy." Lin Shiyin nodded.
Yi Yang said with a smile: "Just call me if you have something." ”
After a while, he and Bai Wenchao turned around and left Lin Shiyin's stall, and quickly walked out of the stall area and came to the street.
"Brother Yiyang, Brother Meng said that he found a treasure, but he is not sure, and he needs us to help take a look."
On the way, Bai Wenchao said.
"Yes, you can." Yi Yang agreed, "I don't know what a good thing it is." ”
Bai Wenchao said: "I don't know, but I'll know after I see him." ”
While speaking, the two walked quickly to an exit of Panjiayuan, and as soon as they appeared, they only heard a familiar shout coming from the front, and it was naturally Meng Haoran who had just arrived to call them.
"Xiaochao, Brother Yi, are you here?" When Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao stepped forward, Meng Haoran greeted with a smile.
"Hmm." Yi Yang nodded at him.
Bai Wenchao asked directly: "Brother Meng, didn't you just say that you wanted to see something?" Where is it? Is it in Panjiayuan? ”
Meng Haoran shook his head and said, "It's not here, but it's very close to here." I don't know if you're free, but if it's convenient, then please help me check it out. Hehe, you two want to be professionals to me, and you can definitely see more deeply, so I want you to palm your eyes. ”
Yi Yang said without hesitation: "Let's not do anything, just hang out here, of course we have time." Brother Meng, then you lead the way, go over and take a look. ”
Hearing Meng Haoran say that there was something that needed to be identified, Yi Yang subconsciously became interested, even if there was no harvest at that time, it should be able to grow his eyes and absorb some knowledge.
"Well, let's go." Meng Haoran nodded hurriedly, and immediately took Yi Yang and them towards the street.
Yi Yang suddenly asked, "Brother Meng, what are you looking at?" What a good baby, right? ”
Since Meng Haoran attaches so much importance to it, it must be that the origin of the thing is not shallow, maybe it is really a big baby.
Meng Haoran replied: "I don't know if it's a good thing, but I feel pretty good." It was a pair of porcelain, very beautiful, the family had been collecting it for a long time, and I also went to see it after being introduced by others, but my eyesight was limited, and I couldn't be sure, so I didn't dare to take it down casually. ”
Yi Yang nodded in agreement: "Collecting antiques is indeed cautious, it's best to see more and buy less, and wait until your eyesight is up and then collect things well." ”
At that moment, he didn't ask about the pair of porcelain mentioned by Meng Haoran anymore, but followed Meng Haoran straight to the house.
The family was very close to Pan's homeland, and it didn't take long for Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao to arrive under the leadership of Meng Haoran.
This place is located in an old street and there are many old houses around.
After a while, Yi Yang and the three of them stepped into the gate of a house, and when they entered was a small courtyard that was not open, and there were mountains of debris everywhere, which was simply a garbage disposal station.
Yi Yang casually looked at the surrounding environment, and it could be seen that the courtyard here was quite old, and it was an ancient mansion.
"Master Song"
After walking in, Meng Haoran shouted loudly.
Immediately, I saw a head poking out from the door of a room in front of the right, and it was a middle-aged man with dark skin.
"Yo, Xiao Meng is here?!"
After the man recognized Meng Hao, he hurriedly walked out and stepped forward to greet him.
"Master Song, the pair of old antiques I saw that day are still there, right?" Meng Haoran asked bluntly.
Master Song nodded vigorously and said, "It's still there." What, you've figured it out now? Have you decided to buy these two pieces of porcelain from our family? Those two bottles are really good, and you definitely don't lose money when you buy them. ”
Meng Haoran said: "Let's take a look first." These two are my friends, experts from other places, I invited them to palm, and it can be regarded as giving you a palm eye for free, and their vision is very powerful. ”
Hearing Meng Haoran say that the two young people standing on the side were experts in appraising antiques, Master Song's face sank slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little uneasy, I don't know whether he was nervous or worried, but he didn't show any bad feelings on his lips, just nodded lightly and said, "That's good." If you want, you can see. ”
At that moment, they didn't say anything, and Master Song led Yi Yang and them into Zheng.
And as soon as he walked in, Yi Yang's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he had discovered something abnormal.
It turned out that as soon as he walked in the door, he sensed a wave of oncoming aura, and the aura was still very strong, indicating that the things that exuded "treasure" might be extraordinary and valuable.
"Could it be that the two pieces of porcelain that Brother Meng was optimistic about before are really good things?!" Yi Yang thought secretly.
He immediately gathered his gaze and looked around, looking for what the "treasure" emanated from something.
"Sit down for a moment, and I'll go get something." Master Song greeted politely.
"Well, there's no hurry." Meng Haoran nodded in agreement.
Master Song walked into an inner room, and after a while, he saw him take out an antique wooden box.
"That's not right!" When he saw what Master Song had taken out, Yi Yang was secretly surprised, because he could clearly sense that the aura was not emanating from the box, but from somewhere else.
In other words, the pair of bottles that Master Song was going to show Meng Haoran had no aura, or the aura was not strong enough to be sensed, so it can be seen that the two pieces of porcelain in Meng Haoran's picture are estimated to be nothing to look at, and they are not worth buying.
"Xiao Meng, I brought the things, you can see it." After walking over, Master Song carefully put down the box and placed it on a table next to Yi Yang and them, then opened the lid of the box and took out two pieces of porcelain from it.
It was two identical bottles, larger in size, and at first glance they looked beautiful and very nice.
Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao looked at it, Yi Yang saw at a glance, they were two pieces of pastel porcelain, looking at the characteristics of modeling, glaze and ornamentation, they preliminarily judged that it was pastel porcelain in the Republic of China period, it was an ordinary folk kiln, porcelain like this is more common in the market, and the collection value is not very high, as for its price, the two pieces add up to only 10,000 yuan.
Later, Yi Yang lowered his head, his right eye was a little closer, and then he vaguely sensed an aura, which proved that although the thing is not a fine product of the official kiln and is not very treasured by collectors, it is also an old thing, with a history of hundreds of years.
"Brother Yi, Xiaochao, it's these two bottles, you help me take a look, how are things." Then, I only listened to Meng Haoran's request.
Bai Wenchao said: "This is a pastel willow yellow warbler pattern vase. ”
"Yes, it's that kind of bottle. The bottom has the style of the Qianlong period, and it is the official kiln fine porcelain. In your opinion? Meng Haoran nodded hurriedly.
"It's not an official kiln, it's a folk kiln, or it's an imitation official kiln during the Republic of China." Bai Wenchao replied frankly.
Hearing Bai Wenchao's answer, Meng Haoran sighed softly, looking very disappointed.
"Brother Yi Yang, what do you think?" Bai Wenchao asked, standing quietly aside, carefully inspecting Yi Yang of the two bottles.
Yi Yang also nodded and said: "You are right, this is not the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, but an imitation of the Republic of China, but the thing is well done, and it has a certain collection value." ”
"You say it's an imitation?! How is that possible?! Hearing what Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao both said, Master Song reacted very much, and shook his head busily, "You must have read it wrong!" These two bottles have been handed down from my ancestors, I don't know how many years they have been collected, how can they be fakes?! ”
Yi Yang smiled and comforted: "Master Song, don't get excited, we didn't say that this is a fake, for an antique, there is no difference between true and fake, only good and bad, some antiques have a high collection value, and some have a low collection value." Of course, this pair of pastel vases in your house is not a fake, but a real antique, but not an official kiln. There is a big difference between this official kiln and the private kiln, mainly because the firing process is different, the official kiln does not hesitate to work, and the private kiln is generally fired from the small kiln, which is relatively backward in technology, so it is not so exquisite, but this is not the difference between genuine goods and fake goods. ”
He gave Master Song a science popularization of the difference between the official kiln and the private kiln, and Master Song frowned and looked at Yi Yang as if he didn't understand.
At the end, he asked very happily: "Xiao Meng, you say, how much do you pay for these two pieces of porcelain, if the price is still right, then you can take it, anyway, our family will move soon, and I don't want to take these two bottles away, if you don't want it, then I will take it to Panjiayuan another day and dispose of it to other collectors and antique dealers." ”
Meng Haoran shook his head and said, "Master Song, this is a folk kiln, I already have a lot of this kind of porcelain at home, and I don't want it anymore." ”
"So you mean you don't want it?!" Master Song said loudly, "Since that's the case, forget it." ”
He seemed a little angry, and after saying that, he put the two bottles back in the box, ready to move them back in.
"Master Song, please wait a minute."
At this moment, Yi Yang waved his hand.
"Is there anything else you can do?" Master Song asked in a somewhat impatient tone.
Yi Yang said: "Brother Meng doesn't want these two bottles, I want to play." ”
As soon as these words came out, Bai Wenchao and Meng Haoran looked at each other, both of them looking surprised.
Master Song was also surprised: "Do you want it?" So how much do you give? ”
Yi Yang said: "Yes, I sincerely want it. To tell you the truth, we have seen a lot of such porcelain before, and the price is also understood, and I think the porcelain is well preserved, so I am willing to pay a little more and give you 10,000 yuan, how about it? ”
The price of 10,000 yuan is already a relatively high price compared to the two pieces of porcelain from the folk kiln, but despite this, Yi Yang still offered this price without hesitation.
Hearing his bid, Bai Wenchao and Meng Haoran were even more surprised, but Master Song said, "10,000 is a little lower, can you add more?" ”
He had a sad face, as if he had suffered a big loss and was in pain.
Yi Yang shook his head and said solemnly: "Master Song, the price of 10,000 is already very high, if you are willing to accept it, then we will make a deal immediately, if you think it is too little, then forget it, I will not embarrass you." ”
Master Song frowned, hesitated for a while, and said, "Hey, 10,000 is 10,000." This young man, let's make a deal. ”
"Okay." Yi Yang nodded without hesitation, and after finishing speaking, he took out a bulging wallet from his arms and prepared to pay.
"Brother Yi Yang"
At this moment, Bai Wenchao, who had been frowning and standing next to him, called softly, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "It's not cost-effective to spend 10,000 yuan to buy that pair of bottles, right?" That's just folk kiln porcelain, it's not worth a penny, like that kind of Republic of China pastel porcelain, I can find a lot, and a hundred yuan a piece may not be worse than those two. ”
Yi Yang said seriously: "Xiaochao, it's okay, it's not much, I really like that pair of porcelain and plan to accept it, isn't it just 10,000 yuan?" It's just a small thing. ”
"Well, since you like it so much, let's buy it and play with it." Seeing that Yi Yang's attitude was so resolute, Bai Wenchao didn't say anything, he only felt that Yi Yang was right, 10,000 yuan was not much, at least for a young and wealthy person like Yi Yang, it was just a drop in the bucket, it was impossible to collect this thing, as long as he liked it, a thing that was very worthless to others could be priceless.
It didn't take long for Yi Yang to count out 10,000 yuan and hand it over to Master Song.
After getting that large amount of money, Master Song was very happy and smiled from ear to ear.
"Master Song, I have one more request."
After finishing the transaction, Yi Yang suddenly pointed to a painting pasted on the wall in front of him and said, "Can you give me the painting on the wall too?" ”
